What else can I help you with?
Paired electrons in the same atom will differ because of their?
Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms). This means that paired electrons must have opposite spins (ms values) to occupy the same orbital.
What subatomic particle contributes alomst no weight to an atom?
The subatomic particles that contribute most almost no weight to an atom are electrons at various energy levels. Isotopes of the same element differ from each other only by the number of neutrons.
If the number of electrons and protons are not the same what do you call this?
When the number of electrons and protons are not the same in an atom, it becomes an ion. An atom becomes positively charged if it loses electrons (more protons than electrons), and negatively charged if it gains electrons (more electrons than protons).
How do you determine the number of electrons in an atom?
The number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of the element, which is the same as the number of protons in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that balance the positive charge of protons in an atom.
What do you need to build a neutral atom?
To build a neutral atom, you need an equal number of protons (positive charge) in the nucleus as there are electrons (negative charge) orbiting around it. The number of protons determines the element, so having the same number of electrons will make the atom electrically neutral. Electrons are in different energy levels around the nucleus, and their arrangement determines the atom's reactivity and chemical properties.
Do the number of neutrons for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. it will be same. only the number of electrons will differ
How does a negative ion differ from an uncharge atom of the same element?
the ion has a greater number of electrons
How do valence electrons differ from the other electrons in an atom are the outermost energy?
They do not differ in any way, except they are the 1 to 8 electrons in the highest energy ground state orbitals of that atom.
Paired electrons in the same atom will differ because of their?
Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms). This means that paired electrons must have opposite spins (ms values) to occupy the same orbital.
Do the atomic number for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no. atomic number will be same as the number of protons will not change for an ion and its neutral atom, but the number of electrons will vary.
Why does an isotope have the same chemical properties as a typical atom?
Almost all the chemical properties of an atom are determined by the valence shell electrons or in general, by the no of electrons present in the atom. Since in an isotope and a general atom, no. of electrons is same, therefore they have similar chemical properties. Isotopes differ in atomic mass only and that is due to extra neutrons.
Do the number of electrons for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no it doesnt
What do all of one element have in common?
The same number of protons (the atomic number),(the number of neutrons in the nucleus may differ from atom to atom ) The fact that atoms of an elemnt have the same number of protons means that in the neutral atom the number of electrons is the same - and therefore the chemistry is the same.
How do isotopes of the same element differ with regards to subatomic particles?
Same number of protons; different number of neutrons. The number of electrons will also be the same, assuming a neutral atom.
What is an atom called when you have the same numbers of protons as electrons?
On average, in any atom, you will have the same number of electrons and protons.
What all atoms of a single element have in common?
The same number of protons (the atomic number),(the number of neutrons in the nucleus may differ from atom to atom ) The fact that atoms of an elemnt have the same number of protons means that in the neutral atom the number of electrons is the same - and therefore the chemistry is the same.
How does an atom of iron differ in structure from an atom of gold?
The number of protons, neutrons ad electrons is different.
